ro rate is high

ro rate is high though im just an exception
not sure what the process is now
thats probably around right though
yeah
uhh i didnt ask many people and they didnt tell us a specific number
but i wouldnt be surprised if thats the actual number yeah
how low
like 1/3?
so fighting for leftover spots basically?
damn
looks like ill have to work weekends
lol i wish i knew what i know now
wouldve tried a lot harder at db
i heard abt the high ro rates so i thought i could just get it easily
now im kinda fucked
i have no more classes to take lol
i think im just gonna have to figure smth out
bold swallow
Oh shit
bold swallow

def wouldn't have been happy at db but would've been something 😂
what didn't u like about it?
lunar cedar
what didn't u like about it?
i don't want to to go into detail here
but overall it just felt strange
i think the main thing was that it's really disorganized
in many ways
gleaming abyss
oh damn did u also not get an ro at databricks lol
gleaming abyss
i think the main thing was that it's really disorganized
i felt that way about the return offer process lmao
seemed like manager didnt even know what the criteria for getting a ro at db was
mentor thought i was doing good too
lunar cedar
oh damn did u also not get an ro at databricks lol
yea lol
tacit turtle
wdym by this
like do they overhire with the expectation that theyre gonna cut people during the first year
dim light
i heard from intern conversion manager that the ro rate is80-90
this is bs
quasi mesa
whats ur source cuz my manager is deadass the guy leading the conversion meetings
dim light
i mean i was an swe intern this summer lmao
gleaming abyss
what wass the verdict
lunar cedar
what wass the verdict
😂
lunar cedar
whats ur source cuz my manager is deadass the guy leading the conversion meeting...
@gleaming abyss we know who rejected us
quasi mesa
what wass the verdict
i thjink she might be talking about imc
shes not in the intern server
the datbr one
gleaming abyss
<@288890119748976641> we know who rejected us
lmfao
lunar cedar
the datbr one
could've left
quasi mesa
i did no dm
gleaming abyss
lmao
gleaming abyss
i was summer
gleaming abyss
that didnt get one?
lunar cedar
yea summer too
quasi mesa
yea
quasi mesa
oh
i have a lot of experience in this
u can switch within vp
but u have to get approval
from both managers
if you want to switch vps you have to go through brickyard
aka ngc team matching
lunar cedar
ya i mean the within VP
lunar cedar
i was given the option
without asking?
quasi mesa
like i asked for a diff team under my vp
but i was given a diff option
that wasnt my team
lunar cedar
you just asked for a random diff team?
quasi mesa
no like one under my vp
lunar cedar
or you asked for a specific one and didn't get that one
quasi mesa
i was denied
lunar cedar
ah hok
quasi mesa
and told i could choose from my current team and another team
ik some other people trying but idk what hte status is i havent asked
but it seems pretty strict this yr
the vp switching thing is new im pretty sure
i t hink instated by vinod
also i think vp needs to sign off on team switch within the vp
some vps are nicer
the guy with the successful team switch was under reynold
oh yea and also if u do brickyard during my call wit hthe recruiter she asked for my top 3 vps
lunar cedar
got u
@jovial lynx you're not gonna like these messages 😂
^ he was told that you could not switch between VPs
at all
quasi mesa
yea u basically cant
i had to bother like 3 recruiters at once to get brickyard as an option
quasi mesa
like
they put me on fullstack track
im not tryna do that
i was told i was backend
lunar cedar
😂
quasi mesa
i hate typescript do not make me write that
what are the odds too imp retty sure its like 10-15/150 are fullstafck track
quasi mesa
yea but usually just some small thing like a popup modal or something
primarily still work on the backend
jovial lynx
Honestly yea it’s more effort to switch than anything
It’s fine
I’m ok with my team
It’s not the greatest ever but whatever
@quasi mesa is this something that you could do after signing the offer or did u have to negotiate this while still working there
Cuz I explicitly asked my recruiter and she said it was impossible
quasi mesa
i think they wanted me to let them know before ileft which i wanted
though the other intern on my team who also wanted to switch teams was given the option
at offer call
quasi mesa
I’m ok with my team
if u dont mind me asking what team were u on/what team did u want
quasi mesa
<@151039960860983296> is this something that you could do after signing the offe...
oh also i have not yet signed
jovial lynx
if u dont mind me asking what team were u on/what team did u want
I was on the billing team
quasi mesa
ahhh
jovial lynx
It’s not front end so I was more or less happy with it
quasi mesa
lots of buraucracy?
jovial lynx
A bit yea
My project required some changes with potential safety concerns so I had to afk for a while at the beginning
What team were you on
jovial lynx
I c
Yea I wanted to switch into the org that has the os infra team
Idr which Vp that was
quasi mesa
maybe reynold
sounds like reynold
he does all the og technical stuff
i mean i think brickyard is very viable
quasi mesa
its just like how u were team matched for internship
uhh
basically like
they take
your resume, your team match form, (and also your previous team if you were an intern), and then a board of directors vote on where to allocate you with vinod having the final say iirc
quasi mesa
like this is 2 months prior to ur start
u have to choose that or ur current team
u cant "hold" ur current team and roll brickyard
and i think u choose before they give u ur letter
lunar cedar
Nop
quasi mesa
what about @jovial lynx
jovial lynx
Not at the company anymore
jovial lynx
Right
lunar cedar
its unabbreviated right below
Oh oops
jovial lynx
Yea the Google version
jovial lynx
I mean I spoke with the manager whose team I wanted to join anyway
Idrc about a lot of the other team descriptions
quasi mesa
oh yea i just meant to find the vp
jovial lynx
Ah
quasi mesa
ok also tbf u gotta take into account i have another internship that im resubmitting my resume with (not dtabrcks) that is genai related and im requesting a genai team
also some other reasons with why i wouldnt return unless i get a better team
which si why i chose brikcyard
so if u think billing is at least an above average team and u dont have any other options i would just take it
jovial lynx
Yea I mean I think it’s about average probably
I do have one more internship I’m doing that sounds like it could be more interesting
But it hasn’t happened yet so idk
quasi mesa
yea
i think the deadline for resume resubmission is around end of year?
at least what i got from talking to the recruiters
jovial lynx
Based on what I understand about my future team though I won’t be in the exact same area as the team I wanted to join
So idk if having that in my resume would make a stronger case for joining that team
quasi mesa
i see
also consider that brickyard doesnt really give u good options to join a specific team
the manager of the team has no say
jovial lynx
Right
I might try and email the recruiter in one last attempt
Maybe cc my manager and give the name of the manager whose team I want to join
I probably won’t try brickyard
quasi mesa
Maybe cc my manager and give the name of the manager whose team I want to join
yea nothing to lose
jovial lynx
I feel like my team is good enough that I don’t want to gamble for a fully random team
jovial lynx
He was pretty chill
quasi mesa
I feel like my team is good enough that I don’t want to gamble for a fully rando...
yea there are some real dead end teams
jovial lynx
He always said I could work on whatever I felt was interesting all the time
I think he would understand
quasi mesa
dlt is especially fucked i think out of the 3 interns i know who were dlt 2 didnt get ro
jovial lynx
Yea I mean my team has some really smart engineers I think
quasi mesa
I think he would understand
yea ideally ur manager has ur best interests in mind
jovial lynx
I just don’t want to do billing my entire life 😂
I did that at Amazon too
Lmao
quasi mesa
thats prob why u got put on the team LOL
jovial lynx
Yea
quasi mesa
i think they weigh ur experience far more over your team preferences
jovial lynx
Probably
But that also is very anti mobility and especially since internships are for learning new skills
jovial lynx
Yea
Well I’ll try once more and if they troll me again I’ll just resign myself to my fate
Unless I get a better offer 😂
quasi mesa
yea
its pretty hard to get a better offer too
like big tech is pretty shit pay nowadays
meta is at 170 recurring
tc
jovial lynx
Tough
Paying peanuts everywhere
Where can a man even go for a 300k TC NG offer nowadays
quasi mesa
only big company with good recurring tc is probably roblox now
they ahve like 240k recurring
but u also have ot live in san mateo
quasi mesa
dude what LOOL
i dont remember this even
they havent gotten back to me even
its been 4 weeks
jovial lynx
You had to explain how you played the factory game
What strategy you used
It was like 250-1000 words 💀
quasi mesa
oh right LOL
i just wrote the bare minimum fuck that
nah i just looked it up and 1nb4r is in the csc server
type shit
jovial lynx
lol
lunar cedar
think js is 250 jnow
No way
